US 2008/0178108 A1 · System and method for thin client development of a platform independent graphical user interface

Abstract

The subject application is directed to a system and method for thin client graphical user interface development. Primitive data is stored in associated memory corresponding to graphical user interface primitives. Each primitive corresponds to a display or a control of an associated document processing device. Selection data is received via a thin client, representing primitive data corresponding to at least one graphical user interface primitive. The primitive data is selectively communicated to a display associated with the thin client according to the received selection data resulting in the generation of visual indicia on the display. A data set is generated representing a graphical user interface display according to a selected set of indicia that is displayed on the thin client. Map data is generated representing the mapping of a generated data set to user interface data, corresponding to the display and the control of one or more document processing devices.

a memory adapted for storing primitive data corresponding to a plurality of graphical user interface primitives, each primitive corresponding to at least one of a display and control of an associated document processing device;
means adapted for receiving selection data via an associated thin client, which selection data corresponds to primitive data corresponding to at least one of the graphical user interface primitives;
means adapted for selectively communicating primitive data to an associated thin client display in accordance with received selection data so as to generate a corresponding visual indicia thereon;
means adapted for generating a data set representative of a graphical user interface display in accordance with a selected set of indicia displayed on the associated thin client display;
and
mapping means adapted for generating map data representative of a mapping of a generated data set to user interface data corresponding to a display for and control of at least one associated document processing device.
